State preemption of local units of government regulating firearms repealed.

Summary

The bill removes Minnesota statutes that prevent cities, counties, school districts and other local entities from making their own rules about guns, ammunition, permits and dealer locations. By striking those preemption provisions, local jurisdictions could adopt zoning ordinances for firearms dealers and set their own regulations on gun discharge, carry permits, and ammunition. This shift gives local officials, gun owners and dealers new authority and responsibilities at the municipal level.
